Answer / Viplov Vishnoi
Page Faults occur when a process requests a page that is not in main memory (RAM). When a page fault occurs, the Operating System's Memory Management component takes action to swap the required page from secondary storage (Hard Disk) into main memory. This swapping process may involve replacing an already resident page, if the system is low on memory.
